Question: On January 3, 2017, Mego Limited purchased
On January 3, 2017, Mego Limited purchased 3,000 (30%) of the common shares of Sonja Corp. for $438,000. The following information is provided about the identifiable assets and liabilities of Sonja at the date of acquisition: 
During 2017, Sonja reported the following information on its statement of comprehensive income: Income before discontinued operations………………………………………….$200,000 Discontinued operations (net of tax)………………………………………………..(50,000) Net income and comprehensive income……………………………………………150,000 Dividends declared and paid by Sonja, November 15, 2017………………….110,000 Assume that the 30% interest is sufficient to make Sonja an associate of Mego, and that Mego is required to apply IFRS for its financial reporting. The fair value of Sonja’s shares at December 31, 2017, is $147 per share. Instructions: (a) Prepare the journal entry to record Mego’s purchase of the Sonja shares on January 3, 2017. (b) Prepare all necessary journal entries associated with Mego’s investment in Sonja for 2017. Depreciable assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis. (c) Would any of your entries in (b) change if you were informed that Mego’s long-term business prospects had deteriorated and that the most Mego could expect to recover in the future or to sell its investment in Sonja for at December 31, 2017, is $115 per share? If so, prepare the entry and explain briefly. (d) A member of senior management has approached you, a CPA, CA, informing you that instead of the shares being worth $115 per share as in (c), the shares are worth $150 each. Senior management receives a bonus based on net income. He mentions that the assumptions about long-term business prospects are too pessimistic and are not reflective of the economic reality at Sonja. You feel pressure to appease management, given that your boss is a member of senior management. What should you do?
